Fatebringer: Field Scout vs Explosive Rounds
I just got my first Fatebringer, and I'm sure this question has been asked around a lot, but which one is better and why? Thank you.

1 ReplyW3rdblader posted this before: firefly: a precision kill will cause that enemy to explode and cause ADDITIONAL damage to enemies nearby. explosive rounds: REDUCES the amount of damage PER ROUND and turns that LOST damage to an area of effect blast. Kills with the explosion DO NOT activate the firefly ability. TLW: If you want to use your fatebringer, or any weapon with firefly, do NOT have explosive rounds active or else you lose your firefly additional blast damage because enemies start dying from the explosive damage, not the precision damage. No precision kill means no firefly explosion. -------end of his post--------- So basically explosive rounds negate firefly but I do find I still get precision headshot counts on the daily bounty with explosive turned on. I like the explosive rounds but it's preference.

[quote]I just got my first Fatebringer, and I'm sure this question has been asked around a lot, but which one is better and why? Thank you.[/quote] I use explosive rounds for pve because i can hit 1k per precision hit + another 1k from the explosive rounds that go off per shot. With field scout i only hit 1.5 per precision hit.

Explosive diarrhea is the best

Field shot because explosive rounds make you loose crit damage in exchange for a small AOE damage

Fieldscout

1 ReplyGood question.
-
Field scout because explosive round reduces the impact dmg and negates firefly. Plus field scout lets you carry almost 40 more shots in reserve
-
Hm vog you can one shot the hobgoblins in the gatekeeper phase with a maxed Fatebringer with explosive rounds as a 30 but can't with field scout this being said I run field scout for everything but the vog

3 RepliesExplosive rounds reduce the amount of times firefly activates because of the splash damage effect it has. Unless you like that, use field scout.

I usually don't run with field scout. I may use explosive rounds for arc nightfalls

Field scout not only increases mag size by 1 but also increases the max reserve ammo to 104 shots. I personally use this because I don't like explosive rounds as much and I like not having to worry about ammo. Also explosive rounds decrease the precision damage delt to enemies which I don't like.
